Motorola announces PEBL U9

Motorola has just announced its new PEBL U9 music phone that shares the looks of an MP3 player. While the phone itself doesn’t come with any onboard storage, what it does have is a microSD memory card slot (capable of storing up to 4GB) for you to carry your digital tunes. On the outside you find music playback controls and a 1.45″ display, while the interior boasts a 2″ screen, and a 2 megapixel camera. Sounds like a mid-range handset that boasts more curves than a Formula 1 track. I’d still go for Sony Ericsson where music phones are concerned though, as Motorola isn’t exactly on the forefront where user interface and audio capabilities are concerned.
